Sheer unadulterated nonsense. All one needs to do is have the Flash run on most of the screen and have a virtual trackpad and click bar on the rest of the screen, which control a mouse-pointer the same way the physical trackpad and click bar do on a laptop.

You were saying ...

Sheer unadulterated nonsense.

I'll defer to the knowledgeable Adobe Flash Developer who has experience in what he's talking about ... LOL ...

Besides that, who wants a CPU hog on the iPhone or any other device. They haven't figured that one out yet -- for any mobile device ... if they ever do.

By the time they get anywhere near doing something about it -- everyone will be using the open standards that will bypass Flash... (which is a proprietary standard, anyway) ... :-)

I could be wrong on this, but I'll bet you'll never see a "virtual trackpad" on an iPad or similar Apple product. It's against the entire UI paradigm, to have the finger on the touchscreen NOT be the point of action focus.

They might do it with a drag vs. tap thing, though.
